Reconfigurable Computing Laboratory

About the Lab

The Reconfigurable Computing Lab (RCL) at Iowa State University was established in 2008 in order to provide a state-of-the-art environment for pursuing research and teaching activity in the areas of reconfigurable computing and embedded systems.

The RCL was established based on a philosophy of supporting “widely accessible reconfigurable computing infrastructure” to the Iowa State community and beyond. Towards this goal, the RCL lab is one of the few in the nation that supports full remote access to tools and hardware, including real-time access to these and other platforms:

1 Dini DN8000K10 development platform, which contains 16 Virtex-4 FPGAs and can emulate the equivalent of 23.7M ASIC gates
